Personally I love hip hop and rap and these do very well in both those genres. I think Soul does a little bit better but they are way more expensive.

My wife loves them for all her music. Good value. We got them to cut down noise on planes and they sound great.

There pretty good.... I love these headphones.... But for the price you can't go wrong.... I workout at the gym and the occasional snag does mess up the plug so you end up only hearing one side.... I usually might go through 3 sets a year realistically .... BUT I recently bought the beats and they sound just the same as the koss... The koss hit notes as deep as 20hz just like beats.... Buy them,, they rock

depends on the genre. I mostly listen to hiphop and R&B; and not at home (on the subway or when walking outdoors) so these factors definitely affect the sound, but remember I tried them once at home and they did not show much details. I got them on sale for $60 and seriously they're not worth more.

Thanks so much! I bought Total Transformation but haven't gotten it out of the box yet. I would prefer more Latin than Hip Hop so it sounds like I'm better off, at least for now, with TT.

2.1, I have four sets, three of which I bought used. One for everyone in the family, to me it's the best, and u can't beat the price. Good highs and really strong bass if wanted. Buy from a good dealer, had a problem with one set, and he just sent me another within a week. No problems.

Assuming you have the correct box for it, it should sound great. Kickers have always been one of the top choices for Rap music.

It sounds great! I listen to alot of Rap and HipHop music, the bass works well for my taste. I've yet to hear any sound distortion at all! Does it or will it sound as good as a Bose, I can't really answer that question cause I never really heard the Bose portable speaker system before. But I think this was worth my money! I like the sound!

Well that depends, is he going to use it on a laptop or a computer? Because if he's using it on a laptop then highly recommend also getting one of those laptop cooler fans, because he's gonna be be spending hours on it. But besides that your pretty much fine. It already comes with it's own music producing software, & if he's using it on a Mac then he's already got Logic Pro & GarageBand. Sure to make a great gift.

You should really choose based on the music you listen to! These are great for electronic, hip hop, pop and sound pretty good with everything else. My only advice for your question is that they can be quite tight on larger heads, and don't stretch very well. If you have a larger head I would recommend something more comfortable because they can be a bit uncomfortable for longer use.

I purchased this set for my husband who is also a beginner and we use it every weekend. He loves it. Not a piece of this set goes unused.

I have found these headphone to sound excellent!! Good for DJ'ing? I give it a big Yes...Compared to Beats (which I owned a pair) Beats have a tendency to snap (the headband that is) after a couple of times of warranty replacement I got rid of them...But I have been a DJ since 1973...yeah a long time...my Favorite are the KOSS PRO-4 AA's which I used then and own a pair now...

Get the Hercules, especially with you just getting into DJing, it's a great tool to learn the basics with. I've been djing for a year and half almost 2 years and now that I have the Hercules it's helping be a lot smoother with the transitions and it also helps with getting comfortable with mixing

The sound card is fairly decent, great thing about this, is that Bluetooth option. Hook you up some Bluetooth speakers like I did and it's no DJs dream, but no problems in that field for me.

This is a good starter kit. It is great for practicing at home as it has the headphone output. It also has some really cool preset kits to encourage creativity!

What issues exactly? Everything works good for me. And about the sound if you are using or used to use mixers most of them uses transistors instead of sound cards. With sound card the sound it's not really crisp and not powerful enough. It's sounds way to compressed. Everything else you can't ask for more!! It makes your Dj skills really easy to perform ... It's saves all your cue points ... Loops... Etc. instead of create you loop every time on a track it saves it ... Next time you play the same track you'll have you loop there ready to use or not!!!

This can be used for any type of music in any genre. But yes I use it for trap/dirty south all the time. Since trap music is based a lot around synthesizers, this fits perfectly into that category. You have the massive and fm synths. And you have absynth for for all your Drake style pad sounds. And the battery drum vst is a beast. To top it off you have everything to create dance/club style hip hop also. Komplete has been and will always be the Swiss Army knife of bedroom and studio producers. I highly reccomend this.

I would go with a cheap drum set. This is kinda small. Works great but I could see a 14 year old wanting more.
